I remember you from 5th grade, Mr. Gauthiers class. We were friends, competitors and even rivals then. You almost killed me climbing down from the tree fort at age 11. Ive been trying to find out whatever happened to you after you moved away from Mount Clemens. Today, June 19, 2019, I came across this obit from ten years ago. I had forgotten that Douglas was your middle name - not your first name. Your potential success was never in doubt - even way back then. Im sorry that your life was so short. Its been decades since we knew each other. Why then am I so sad? Maybe because you were one of many important parts of my childhood. Goodbye friend from long ago...
I pray that you may Rest In Peace.
